Recommendation 33

33 Deferred Paragraph: 77

His Majesty's Inspectorate requires greater powers to enforce recommended changes effectively.

Conclusion
The Home Secretary highlighted success stories of His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services’s “Engage” process but the Inspectorate needs more powers to drive through recommended changes.
Government Response Summary
The government deflects the recommendation regarding HMICFRS's need for more powers by instead detailing a joint evaluation of the Right Care Right Person (RCRP) program, with findings due in Spring 2024.
Paragraph Reference: 77
Government Response Deferred
HM Government Deferred
86. The Home Office is working closely with Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) on a joint evaluation of RCRP, including both the impacts on police time and the implementation of RCRP from a health and social care perspective. Findings will feed into an implementation evaluation report due to be completed in Spring 2024, which we intend to publish.
